Algebra help?<br><br> 343 = (x/6) ^2/3

Vladimir79 [104]

I can only assume that you meant, "Solve for x:"

Apply the exponent 3/2 to both sides of this equation. The result will be

3/2

343 = x/6.

Multiplying both sides by 6 isolates x:

3/2

6*343 = x Since 7^3 = 343, the expression for x

can be rewritten as

3/2

6*(7^3) = x which can be further simplified, as follows:

x = 6^(3/2)*7^(9/2), or:

x = 6^(3/2)*7^(8/2)*√7, or

x = 6^(3/2)*7^4*√7

In two or more complete sentences, explain how to solve the cube root equation, ^3√x+1 -2=0

IrinaVladis [17]

Explanation:

The first step is to figure out what the equation is. When unconventional math symbols are used, and when there are no grouping symbols identifying operands, that can be the most difficult step. Here, we think the equation is supposed to be ...

$\sqrt[3]{x+1}-2=0$

It usually works well in radical equations to isolate the radical. Here that would mean adding 2 to both sides of the equation, to undo the subtraction of 2.

$\sqrt[3]{x+1}=2$
